STOP-FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 71 5,785, dated December16, 1902.

Application led November 25, 1901. Serial No. 83,526. (No model.)

To all wiz/017 it 11m/y concer-n.-

Be it known that I, HENRY H. GREENE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and State of Wisconsin, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Stop-Fastenings, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in fastenings for stops forwindows, doors, (itc. The object of lny invention is to provide meanswhereby the stop is made adjustable to the window and whereby it may bereadily detached and removed without defaciug either the window-frame orthe stop.

In the following description reference is had to the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1 isa detail view showing a portion of awindow-frame equipped with my invention, with dotted lines indicatingthe position of the holding-plate carried by the stop. Fig. 2 is a viewof a portion of the inner face of the stop, showing the holding-plate.Figs. 3 and 4 are views similar to Figs. 1 and 2, respectively, butshowing the holding-plate located on the `window-frame and thelockingplate on the stop. Fig. 5 is a side view of a portion of awindow-frame, showing the stop secured in position by two fasteningsembodying my invention, the upper fastening corresponding with theconstruction shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and the lower fastening with the construction shown in Figs. 3 and 4. Fig. 6 is a sectional view drawn online 0c 0c of Fig. 1.

Like parts are identified by the same reference characters throughoutthe several views.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, 1 is a lockingplate located in a suitablerecess in the window-frame and provided with offset lockinglips 2, theshape of which locking lips is clearly shown in Fig. 6. Thelocking-plate is secured to the frame by a central screw 3,Y whichserves as a pivot upon which the plate rotates. The window-stop 9 isprovided with a holding-plate 4,' which is rigidly secured to the stopby screws 5, passing through the slots 6 in the plate, the slotspermitting the plate to be adjusted transversely of the stop when thescrews are loosened. This holding-plate is provided with offset catches7 and also with a projection 8, which bears against the rear side of therecess in the window-frame and holds the stop against the lateralpressure of vided with offset catches 13. 14 is pivotally connected withthe stop and the window-sash. The holding-plate is secured to the stopin such a position that when the stop is adjusted to the window-framethe holding-plate will register with the lockingplate, as indicated bydotted lines in Fig. 1, the projection 8 being of such length as toproject into the recess of the locking-plate. When the locking-plate ismoved in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 1, thelocking-lips 2 will interlock with the catches 7 and bind the stopfirmly to the windowframe. By rotating the plate 1 in the oppositedirection, however, the lips 2 are withdrawn from the catches 7, and thestop may be readily removed. lt will be observed, Fig. 5, that the platel is so located upon the window-frame as to project slightly beyond theedge of the stop on the side occupied by the window, the plate beingcovered by the window when the latter is closed. When the window israised, however, the plate is eX- posed, as shown in said Fig. 5, andmay be rotated to lock or unlock the stop by inserting a nail or oth ertool in holes 10 of the plate prepared for that purpose.

Referring now to Figs. 3 and 4, a plate 12, similar to the plate 1,(shown in Fig. 1,) is secured rigidly to the window-frame and is pro- Alocking-bar provided with locking-lips 15, adapted to engage the catches13. The bar 14 is actuated by means of a rod 16, connected therewith andextending through the stop and provided with a thumb-piece 17 on theexterior. 18 represents pins projecting from the face of the stop-bar 9and serve as stops for the bar 14.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination with a window-frame, provided with a stop suitablefor windows, doors, &;c. of a pair of locking-plates located on theframe and stop respectively, one of said plates being rigidly secured toits respective support, and the other of said plates being adjustableindependently of its support, whereby said plates may be brought intolocking engagement with each other, or to a position of release withoutmoving either support, substantially for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination with a frame; a stop- IOO bar adapted to be adj ustedthereto; interlocking plates interposed between the opposing faces ofthe stop-bar andthe frame, and locked in a recess prepared therefor, oneof said plates being pivotally secured to one of the opposing faces, andthe other plate being rigidly secured to the other opposing face; andmeans for actuating the pivotal plate into the locking and releasingpositions.

3. The combination with a frame, provided with a stop-bar; of alocking-plate located in a suitable recess in the frame and exposed atone side of the stop-bar; locking-lips connected with said plate andoffset therefrom; a holding-plate secured to the stop-barand providedwith offset catches adapted to be engaged by the locking lips, saidlockingplate being formed for the engagement of a tool on the exposedside, whereby the plate may be adjusted into locking or releasingposition.

4. The combination with a frame, provided with a stop-bar; of alocking-plate located in a suitable recess in the frame and exposed atone side of the stop-bar; locking-lips connected with said plate andoffset therefrom; a holding-plate secured to the stop-bar and providedwith offset catches adapted to be engaged by the locking-lips, saidholding-plate being provided with a stop adapted to engage astraight-edged surface on the locking-plate, whereby the movement of thelatter is limited; and said locking-plate being formed for theengagement of a tool on the exposed side, whereby the plate may beadjusted into locking or releasing position.

5. The combination with a window-frame, provided with a stop suitablefor windows, doors, dac.; of a pair of interlocking plates located onthe opposing surfaces of the frame and its stop; means for moving one ofsaid platesinto the lockingand releasingpositions; and means foradjusting the stop-plate laterally, to bring the stop into forciblecontact with the Window-sash.

6. The combination with a window-frame provided with a stop suitable forWindows, doors, dac.; of a locking-plate located in a suitable recess inthe window-frame; a holding-plate located on the stop, and provided withinterlocking projections adapted to be engaged by the locking-plate; anda projection on the holding-plate adapted to engage in the framerecessto hold the stop firmly against the window-sash.

7. The combination with a frame; of a stopbar adjustable thereto; and aset of lockingplates mounted respectively upon the opposing faces of theframe and bar, one of said plates being rigidly secured in position, andthe other being adjustably mounted upon its respective support, saidplates being provided with interlocking parts, adapted to separate whenthe adjustable plate is moved in one direction.

8. The combination with a frame; of a stopbar adjustable thereto, withthe opposing faces of the frame and bar in contact with each other; anadjustable locking plate mounted upon one of the opposing faces of saidplate, and adapted to be adjusted independently of the frame or bar; anda lockingcatch on the other of said opposing faces.

9. The combination with a frame; of a stopbar adjustable thereto; and aset of lockingplates mounted respectively upon the opposing faces of theframe and bar, and adjustable, one upon the other, independently of theframe or bar, said plates ,being formed to interlock when in oneposition of adjustment; together with means for actuating one of theplates from the exterior.

In testimony whereof I ax my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
